Yesterday I had a medical procedure performed at St. Luke’s Baptist Hospital. As always, the staff was professional and warm and very patient oriented. That is nothing new. That is the norm for that hospital. At one point, I went into the restroom and attached to the door, I found this sign. I was pleased […]

I am an Independent, although I am philosophically more Republican than Democrat. Over the years, I have campaigned for candidates of both parties. I was quite frankly appalled that the Express-News endorsed Therese Huntzinger’s candidacy for District Attorney.

Today I picked Willow up at Northwood Grooming where she goes every other Friday for her bath and pampering. When we reached our destination, she decided to jump from her car seat in the back seat to the front seat. She apparently missed her mark, and began screaming. I opened the back door and picked […]

Today I had a great adventure. I read in Saturday’s Express-News about the B-17 being on display in San Antonio and learned that rides were available. I drove to the site at the airport, and walked out to see the plane. It was beautiful, it was breathtaking, it was awe-inspiring. I walked back inside and […]

A couple of years ago I was experiencing some health issues and I was referred to a specialist at the Medical Arts and Research Center, better known as the MARC, a part of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. Honestly I was somewhat skeptical about the facility because I had heard […]
